Question

The total cost f(x), in dollars, for renting a beach house for x days is shown:

f(x) = 5 + 350x

What does f(5) represent?

Answer 1

The cost of renting the house for 5 days

$1755 for 5 days

Explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x) = 5+350x

f(x) represents the total cost in dollars and x represents the days.

If we want to find f(5), we must substitute 5 in for x.

f(5) = 5+350(5)

Multiply 350 and 5.

f(5)= 5+ 1750

Add 5 and 1750.

f(5)= 1755

x represents days and we substituted 5 in for x. Therefore, f(5) represents the cost of renting the beach house for 5 days. f(5) is equal to 1755.

So, It will cost $1755 to rent the beach house for 5 days.

Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

So we have a function f(x) which is:

`f(x)=5+350x`

And this represents the total cost (f(x)) in dollars for renting a beach house for x days.

If we use 5 for x:

`f(5)=5+350(5)`

Multiply:

`f(5)=5+1750=1755`

This means that the total cost to rent the beach house for 5 days is $1755.
